The erotic model Paty D. was at a photo session in Africa when they were attacked by a lioness. She brings this retablo thanking Saint Francis because they were saved in time by some hunters.

When I was on safari in Africa, I felt like peeing. I went to a tree. So I was peeing, and suddenly a viper appeared. It wanted to bite my manhood. I implored the Virgin of Guadalupe. She heard my prayers and shooed the viper away.
